 The five finalists were selected as finalists for the Million Dollar Giveaway by entering their non-winning tickets into the 25^th Anniversary Millionaire Second Chance Promotion on the Lottery’s website.  An additional 25 players have won prizes of $25,000, and 2,500 players won free Scratch-Off tickets during the 12-week promotion.

 The players peeled off the top layer of an oversized scratch-off ticket to reveal their prize amount.

Since the launch of the Millionaire Scratch-Off game on Sept. 25, Florida Lottery players have won more than $155 million prizes.  The $25 tickets are still available for purchase with more than $141 million in prizes remaining to be won, including 13 $1 million prizes and two $5 million prizes.
